Wormbridge is a village on the A465 road fro Hereford to Abergavenny, 8 miles SW of Hereford. The majority of the village, along with Wormbridge Common to the W, are on the W side of this busy road, leaving the church isolated. A layby has been provided for visitors. The church itself consists of chancel, nave with N porch (facing the layby) and a W tower with a broach spire. 12thc doorways indicate the age of the nave and chancel, but the nave was lengthened and the tower added in the 13thc. In 1851-59 the building was dramatically restored by Fulljames and Waller. The walls were refaced and buttresses added, all the windows were replaced and the tower rebuilt and the spire added The Romanesque features described here are the N nave and S chancel doorways.
